Warning
Miralax is essentially made from anti-freeze.
Polyethylene glycol is made by stringing together molecules of ethylene glycol into a large polymer chain, hence the prefix poly-, Greek for many. On its own, ethylene glycol is used in automotive antifreeze and brake fluid. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, it is an extremely toxic substance:
“Ethylene glycol is chemically broken down in the body into toxic compounds. It and its toxic byproducts first affect the central nervous system (CNS), then the heart, and finally the kidneys. Ingestion of sufficient amounts [as little as 30 ml — KM] can be fatal.â€Â
Miralax is also on the the FDA's Adverse Events Reporting list warning of “neuropsychiatric eventsâ€Â.
If anyone is planing on taking Miralax, I would urge them to read this article before doing so:
